"To find the exact answer, one must first ask the exact question."

On what grounds did Thou dedicate Thy nuptial garland to the throat of mine?  I am certainly surprised.

        To a person like me, pinched and dressed in tatters, how did Thou cause to drink of Thy lovely cup of love is an astonishment for me.

        I possessed nothing like loveliness and certainly was ugly.  I was devoid of intelligence, and really was illiterate.  I was even without wealth and in fact penniless.  Still how did Thou make me Thy beloved is a matter of surprise for me.

        Those were my reflections formerly; but now I have understood that I was prepared for offering my heart and hence had become Thine.  I was dedicating the whole of mine and consequently had become Thy lover.

        To him Thou offerest heart that loses heart for Thee.  Is there even an iota of doubt about it?
